Re: Let's twist again......
And yet more progress:
With hindsight I should have painted and decaled the lower wings before assembly and rigging.....but I'm stupid so didn't!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Let's twist again......
Cheers folks!
I have now finished decalling both planes, and I'm waiting for them to settle and dry out. Then I have some touching-in to do where the decals are a bit shy in places.
Then it's onto the base and mounting for the pair

They are looking brilliant, what a difference those decals make, I can't wait to so the mounted on the base.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Re: Let's twist again......
Cheers Splash; as it happens I've just finished a bit of touching in and I've even found two pilots (as was kindly pointed out earlier ) to put in them.
It might have been easier to have placed them in the cockpit before buttoning up the fuselage but thankfully I had a pair of equally diminutivevictims volunteers in the spares box. Both have donated their feet and elbows to medical science but otherwise the are a perfect fit
Piccies tomorrow

Decals finished and a few touch-ins completed.
Pilots selected (on size alone rather than quality ), chamfered, and painted

I didn't realize the thread title was regarding getting the pilots into the planes.
